Mobile Phone Application for Lawyers Enters Affinity Partnership with NACDL

PUSH:legal Becomes Official Affinity Partner with National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PUSH:legal, the new mobile phone application which allows legal professionals to access, search, and apply state and Federal case law and statutes via Blackberry, Android, iPhone, and iPad devices, is now an official affinity partner with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), the largest U.S. organization of defense attorneys.

“NACDL members are often on the cutting edge of legal issues. They require and deserve the best resources. The PUSH:legal app is state of the art—convenient, comprehensive, and searchable. It is a welcome addition to the mobile research library.”

This mobile phone application is a portable legal research resource that converts bulky and costly traditional legal deskbooks into an on-the-go platform. Legal professionals now have the ability to quickly reference statutes and annotated case law through this very user-friendly legal research software which easily integrates with Google Scholar.

Since its founding in 1958, the NACDL has amassed 10,000-plus direct members in 28 countries—and 90 state, provincial and local affiliate organizations totaling more than 40,000 members. Members include private criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, active U.S. military defense counsel, law professors, and judges. The affinity partnership with PUSH:legal will include special discount rates for all NACDL members, as well as other various promotions and incentives.

Jim Lavine, Houston attorney and 2010-2011 President of the NACDL, states that “NACDL members are often on the cutting edge of legal issues. They require and deserve the best resources. The PUSH:legal app is state of the art—convenient, comprehensive, and searchable. It is a welcome addition to the mobile research library.”

Since its launch in December 2011, the PUSH:legal application has seen nearly 13,000 downloads, and over 1,500 annotated codes have been purchased. For more information on PUSH:legal, the mobile legal research tool, visit pushlegal.com.
